:character00238: Good morning everyone :character00238:
It is SO misty this morning. From where I'm sitting it looks as though it's a bright morning but when you look out you can see that it is the "whiteness" of the mist that is shining through the window.
OH and I have a nice little job to do this morning. A couple of days ago I bought a memory foam mattress. It is compressed and rolled in a box so we have to get the old one off early so that the new one grows back to the right depth by the time we get to bed tonight :nightf:
I am expecting great things as a 3 years ago I bought a mattress topper and even that made a difference
The problem was that it was after I unrolled the topper I found the piece of paper that said "leave for 8 hours on bed before using". It needed that time to plump up and lose it's new smell
As it was nearly time for bed we took the topper into another room and left it there almost flat. Obviously almost was not good enough and we have lived with an annoying wiggly ridge right down the length towards my side
So today we are going to do it right. They are not a cheap item to buy and we can't afford another for many years.
Taz - The organisation must have been a nightmare. It was a very ambitious project. All through last week there were events in different venues as part of the festival, culminating in this festival weekend. It is still going on today!!! I think it would be better if they concentrated on one stage at the weekend and advertised it really well. The problem is that it is not just one genre. It is ANY accoustic and roots singer/songwriter. If it was a Folk Festival it would have a natural following - people like to know what they're buying tickets for.
There was a charity aspect to the event too. The organiser has promised at least £200 to a charity that works with children of alcoholics so it would have been great to top that.
You are right though, it was good experience. Typical Folkie, I hate microophones but I have to get comfortable with them as a lot of venues use them. The show was also my worst nightmare. All the audience were performers themselves and though appreciative there was not a big enough crowd to create that magic audience/performer vibe :vibes:
that all performers thrive on. The good news though was that guinness was only £2.40 a pint £3.40 where we go in Cornwall!!!
Have a lovely day everyone. It might be a good one here when the mist burns off and maybe Mr Sun comes out to play :character00238:

good morning. oh gem. i was thinking about you and hoping it was going well with your nerves. well it wasn't for nothing. you will have gained experience and playing in front of your peers is always the worst thing...
and taz. are you taking anything for your cold? make sure you look after yourself honey. you guys have both been through the mill recently...
i am at work again today. i have to admit i got chicken and mushroom and boiled rice from the chinese last night. bad abi... saying that, my system didn't hold onto it for very long... it didn't like it much, so that was me up in the middle of the night!! i haven't slept well and now i have ten very empty hours ahead of me. time to get on with my project work i think. i've been working away at it but it can get mighty monotonous over the course of ten hours.
of course it just got busy and i've been gone for over an hour without realising that i hadn't posted this. oops. hope you guys are having a lovely sunday?

Here for the Journey
Hi, I'm here. I've been walking on the Canal toe-path this afternoon, picking and eating blackberries on the way. There were loads of hips and haws growing with the blackberries too. We walked about 2 miles or so. It was lovely, we stopped at a small canal-side cafe and had a coffee. We just watched canal life go by - SO relaxing What a beautiful day it's been. I hope everyone has had a good day.
Taz - I do hope you will feel better soon.
Abz - What a pity you had to work on a lovely day like this.
Well, the mattress has done it's stuff and plumped out just nicely. It's looking more like a mattress than the flat looking thing we put on the bed about 7.5 hours ago - just as well as we took the old one to the tip. I'll leave it another couple of hours and then I'll make up the bed.
Have a lovely evening everyone. x

No mist today but no sign of Mr Sun either. The weather forcast doesn't look too bad for today though so I'll look forward to seeing him later. Hurry up Mr Sun, missing you already.
Well, I had a good nights sleep on my new mattress, although it was not as obviously soft as the one in the shop so it's got me thinking - have we put it on the bed upside down How would you know I unzipped the cover and there doesn't seem any obvious difference inside there as the mattress proper is wrapped up in another covering The mystery deepens.
It matters because the rigid foam is on the bottom and the memory foam is on the top (well I hope it is!!!!). I will investigate further - watch this space
Well, I don't have to go to work until tomorrow so I have a little more time to sort things out. I am away at the weekend so will have to keep the washing up together so that I can go straight after work on Thursday
